Halloween Wreath

Here is a picture of a Halloween wreath I made to sell at my fall craft shows. The ghosts, moon and pumpkins are made from cotton fabric. I used bean seeds and cloves as buttons on some of the ghosts. I hand-stitched around each pumpkin to give them move dimension. The faces on each ghost were drawn using a .05 pigma pen. There is a spider hanging from the top left side of the wreath. I cut it out of glittered, stiffened black felt using a new Tim Holtz Halloween die cut. I found a vine fence that is the perfect size that I placed in front of the ghosts. This is where I also attached the pumpkins. The grapevine wreath opening is about 12" in diameter, so it is a nice size for display.

I sold quite a few of these wreaths at the Little Red School House outdoor craft show on October 2nd. I have a few remaining that I'm hoping to sell at my next craft show this coming Sunday. Let me know your thoughts!!!
